The disappearance of 6-year-old Mary Boyle, Ireland's Madeleine McCann.

[faithlilly]

It took a long time to link the atrocities perpetrated by this man to him ... I believe HOLMES may have been used in Jennifer Cardy's case many years after he killed her ... and the forensics he left behind helped to convict him thirty years down the line.

The police have absolutely no idea how many little girls may have fallen victim to this man nor do they know where many of them were thrown like so much rubbish ... in my opinion probably in water as it features in killings where there was enough evidence to convict him.

A retired detective claims to have proof Black was in Paderborn when Katrice Lee vanished ...

In my opinion it is reprehensible to accuse people who may be innocent of any crime particularly if there is obviously not sufficient evidence to warrant the police investigating under caution.
It is even more reprehensible for this doyen of the conspiracy theory to point an accusatory finger at Mary Boyle's mother which will no doubt encourager les autres.

There are many crimes which Black may have been guilty of and only his carelessness or arrogance enabled his eventual downfall to enable anyone to link his movements to any of them.

In my opinion the extraordinary denial of the presence of serial killers and kidnappers in our world in preference to mounting a hue and cry of conspiracy when a child disappears is highly intriguing particularly as it deflects from the task of eliminating a monster from our society.

The link you posts re Katrice Lee.......another conspiracy theory ?

Looks like we'll soon get to see the new documentary.

My investigation on the #McCann case will be published later this month in @VillageMagIRE.
Until then, I will publish information which I consider to be of general public interest about the case here.

You appear to be quite determined that small girls are prone to vanishing without any help from known child killers ... have you never thought we could dispense with the criminal justice system altogether if a theory backed by a video sufficed?

If Robert Black or someone like him can be proved to have been in the areas from where little girls vanished at the time I think it is worth a thought.  Sometimes benefit of hindsight is useful in building profiles to be of use in the future protection of vulnerable children.
In my opinion witch hunts don't come close to achieving that.

The link you posted is to Katrice Lee.

Is there any connection to Robert Black, or to the topic title, Mary Boyle?

[Mr Gray]

when I look at her twitter posts re her so called investiagation of the McCann case it makes me wonder how accurate this video is

You mean you haven't been following the thread?

Have you watched the video about Robert Black? It wasn't him - that was a remote spot and all vehicles seen were investigated. Family members and police say they know who it was and he was protected.

Good to hear a protest is being held in March at the office of Donegal coroner Dr Denis McCauley over his refusal to hold #MaryBoyle inquest

And is there evidence  against this person...... Or is it just the same as those who believe  the mccanns are guilty and protected

Robert Black was a serial killer of little girls.  He killed one little girl in Ireland and he was familiar with the area in Donegal from where Mary vanished.

If Black's vehicle was in the vicinity he had a perfectly legitimate reason for it to be there ... he was working.

It is not possible for anyone to accuse anyone of anything without a modicum of proof and that includes an undoubted serial child killer like Black but if he was there when Mary disappeared ... I know who my money would be on.

Most murdered children are caused by family or friends not Robert Black.

Oh, I see.  The other children that he murdered were done by him because he was a family friend.

Of course small girls are abducted and killed by known child killers but far more are killed by those closest to them such as family members.

When family members are involved I think you will find it is rarely two biological parents.... It usually involves broken familiar

It should be remembered that any murder where a body is not found is treated as a disappearance and maybe an abduction but also may not be.
